Got to see my boy Rocky for his yearly clip! His body really holds onto his long thick winter coat, but now he gets to relax and enjoy as the hot days roll in! Each clip he trusts me more and more, which is crazy since I only see him once a year! But I guess they’re right, a horse just never forgets you. Already looking forward to seeing Rocky again next year!🐴🩵

Biscuit and Mango looking beautiful after their clip today! These two have come a long way in just over a year! With each clip they get better and better! Both of them stood without becoming anxious and that was a HUGE improvement! So so proud of these two young horses! 🐴🩵

Feels soooo good to be back clipping! Thank goodness for the warmer weather!!
Bobby looking fantastic for his first clip with me! Of course he also needed a mane pull to pull his glow up together! He’s just a handsome baby!

‼️UPDATE‼️ 3/15/26
-My first available appointment is now April 16th and I have about 4 spots left for April. Also booking into May!!

‼️Important Schedule Change Alert‼️

Happy Almost Spring/Show Season!! 🐴😆

We all know what that means!! Nakey ponies and warmer weather is upon us!! Idk about all of y’all but I can’t wait to start sweating and not feel like I’m going to freeze! lol 😂

Now, as many of you know, but for those of you who don’t, on the New Year I officially opened up a laid back, private boarding facility in Freehold Township!! As I’m so excited for this next chapter this does mean my schedule has changed!

What does this mean for clipping and braiding?! Well, I will still be clipping and braiding, the only thing that is changing is the amount of horses I can clip in a day/week. For braiding I’m honestly not sure how that will look yet, so braiding I will be playing by ear. However, for clipping, if you know you want your horse clipped by me and you know the dates, please do not wait to book with me! As of right now I only have 1, maybe 2 spots left for March and I’m already booking into May! So please do not wait!
Send me a message on my personal page Shannon Marie Hankel or text 908-839-5909 for a quicker response!

I truly thank every single one of my clients for your understanding, trust, and support as I transition into this new chapter of my equestrian career! 🐴🩵
